Harold's New York Deli - Edison

-

Do you like food? Well, how about more than you could ever eat in one sitting? A prospect that likely does not ring positive in the ears of all who listen, but I implore one and all to hear me out. If you have a LARGE appetite for very good food, or just want leftovers for the week - I highly suggest you try out Harold's New York Deli. If nothing else, you will be in jaw-dropping awe of this temple to the food gods; one step in the front door and you will see exactly what I mean!

The Grub:

Harold's has an extremely vast menu which caters to the needs and wants of any discerning diner. Soups, salads, steaks and of course their world-famous sandwiches, along side a heaping helping of pickles and 'slaw from their walk-up bar equal one hell of an experience. By the way, if you find yourself saying "I wonder if the quality is sacrificed for quality?" - you just shut your dirty mouth! Everything is delicious, and by the way, I'd love it if they would pay me to say that, but sadly they don't. If I were you, I'd order a corned beef and pastrami sandwich on rye with mustard and tell them a lot of extra bread. You'll have enough to make plenty of sandwiches. If your in the mood for breakfast, no problem - huge pancakes comin' your way with all the trimmin's! Somehow, if you find yourself still hungry after all that, or if you think you may be in the mood later, don't leave without getting one of their ridiculously large pieces of cake, or perhaps an eclair to go. You won't be sorry, that is of course, unless you eat yourself into a food coma. (The NJ Foodhound discourages you from eating yourself sick!)

My Order:

Corned beef and pastrami sandwich on rye with mustard
Fries
Seltzer water, ginger ale or root beer

The Digs:

Harold's has a number of locations around New Jersey, but my favorite and the one I've always gone to is in Edison and shares a parking lot/location with a hotel that seems to change hands every few years. The inside feels a lot like a classic diner with lots of room for plenty of friends/family. Always clean and staff is more often than not, quite courteous and helpful. The one thing I will say is it isn't the cheapest night out, so if you have any doubts I would check the menu before you head over. That said though, you definitely get what  you pay for.

The Nitty Gritty:

Lots of insanely good food. Why aren't you there right now?

Five Alive: The Greatest and Rarest of Juice Drinks

-
Image
Growing up, one of my favorite things to drink was orange juice. Honestly, I may have had a bit of a problem as I would often choose OJ over water 90% of the time. Probably lucky to still be alive. After solidifying what could charitably be called an addiction to citrus flavors, I rarely drank anything that didn't feature the sweet-and-sour flavor I had come to love. Then one day, I found what many (mainly myself) have come to call the king of all citrus drinks, the rare and ever sought after - Five Alive . Like a fruit-drink ghost, it has appeared in my life a number of times and vanished as quickly as it came. Bodegas, small grocery stores, the one off chain while on vacation - it has been spotted in a number of places but, the moments are fleeting. For those not in the know, Five Alive is a blend of 5 citrus juices created by Minute Maid under the Coca-Cola corporation. It combines orange, grapefruit, lemon, lime and tangerine into one of the best god-damn ...

The Corner and It’s Delights - Bergenfield, NJ (Now Closed)

-

  I popped into the The Corner on a hot, muggy August day seeking cold refreshment and the  delicious juice I was handed absolutely delivered. They serve a bevy of beverages with flavors including mango, passionfruit, guava, strawberry, Lulo and blackberry.  I tried both the Lulo (tropical and sweet/sour) and strawberry. Both were fresh and and quickly helped me beat the heat that summer day. The Corner and it's Delights also offers an array of Columbian and American food options like empanadas, burgers, and salads - so stop in and try it out if you're in the neighborhood!

Sophie's Cuban Cuisine - NYC (Various Locations)

-
Image
Hell's Kitchen has no shortage of places to find a quick lunch, the trick is finding one with good food that breaks the typical mold of catering to the hot-table zombies. Luckily, Sophie's Cuban is here to break the monotony of the everyday routine with time-tested, delicious Cuban classics. The Grub: Sophie's is a great grab-and-go eatery obviously specializing in Cuban cuisine. Their offerings include some of the well-known classics like roast pork, fried chicken cutlets, baked chicken, and pork-chops with onions which are also their most popular dishes. I would also suggest giving their spicy grilled chicken and shredded beef stew a try, though quite honestly - you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu here. When you order, you are asked to pick an entree and 3 sides - which, in and of themselves could make a meal for most. Again, no wrong choices with the side dishes, but I would suggest some Moro rice, black beans (unless you are gluten-free like ...
